Thanks for watching! Really appreciate it! I was checking “Sold” EBay prices and the Origins is averaging about $800, which compared to the vintage is still a good buy. Hope you find one for a great price. 👍😎
This was a great video. I appreciate you taking the time to give us a good side by side comparison. The Street Fighter sound effects is a nice touch 😅!
Great video, I have never seen either of these in the flesh and not likely too, so really enjoyed this video and careful analysis of the two. Thank u for another great film!
"Get a room" 🤣 Both amazing play sets! There was a boxed vintage Eternia at Sandown toy fair, and in the car park as I was about to head home, I saw a guy carrying it on his shoulder 👀Great video Scuba, nice side by side comparison and I learnt loads! 👍
Oh man!!! What a great idea to compare the two! Absolutely loved this video and thanks for the advice and putting me at ease about the track! 😂😂 (Although I did wince a bit when you demonstrated the toughness of the new plastic!!) Both vintage and origins have their own unique little differences so I can't say which is best. Though I did learn a few things about the vintage one! They both are too freaking cool!!!
Thanks Pete and thanks Chris for this look at these two beasts! Unbelievable how elaborate they both are. Love the shot at the end. And can ya blame Sheera? Honestly?
Amazing video! Thank you! I definitely think the modern one is superior. But if Mattel wanted to make an add-on kit with the Grayskull Tower bridge, weapon rack / barrier, tower clips, and two more monorail motors with three motor cannons that plug in like they're supposed to, that would make it even better. Because your version with all three monorail cars going at once looks FANTASTIC!
Well I have both and for me the vintage Eternia wins hands down. As a product of its time the design is amazing and setting the tracks aside, the quality of the material has stood the test of time. There is the nostalgia of course attached to it plus the price range for resale far exceeds the origins. The origins is all shiny and new but ultimately it is just a clone of the very rare original. Only 4000 copies of the vintage Eternia were produced globally and very few available are 100% complete. I’m very grateful to have both and also really thankful that I own a 100% complete vintage Eternia in excellent condition, so for me the pros of the vintage one which are pros that can’t be recreated far outweigh the origins one. So in my opinion that makes the vintage one superior.
Lol crazy how similar yet different these sets are side by side. Great look at the sets scuba, simply incredibly. But I’ll always go vintage as it was there when I was 😂👍
While the original for its time was certainly a badass playset it is just not as nice as the origin imo. The modern tooling just makes it so much nicer and added play features. Both are just huge playset how rad you have both! I am on team Origins, not a dis to the vintage but, its just not as cool as the Origins.
I bought my, vintage eternia for 120 dollars in the 80s the know would have cost me more than 1000 dollars (Europe). Sooo if the new one is better it is a no comparison matchups cause of the different price ranges.
Greetings from the Space Station! 🚀 This video deserves loads of Likes just for the Aerosmith reference! 😂 Pete, I know I've asked you this before, but I keep forgetting to write down your answer... 😅 What would you recommend to reattach a loosening blister to a cardback? Cheers!!!
Hiya Space Commander! 🚀 I would use micro glue dots like these from Amazon. a.co/d/gDeGu5g Whatever you do, stay away from any superglues!!!! It will fog the bubble and ruin it.
Thanks for watching @touchingevil! Check out our other Eternia video where I snap vintage Eternia track! 👍😆 ua-cam.com/video/8LttqjGbX8Y/v-deo.htmlsi=ERgJPgDIffcRdoEB
Great video Scuba, I suppose the Origins one is 'better' but the vintage original one has so much charm to it. Also, I'm not the authority on MOTU, so I can't can't really say!
6:21 Wait a moment! The new "viper" on the Viper Tower is a crocodile! What the heck! It doesn't resemble a snake or a viper! How is possible that nobody said somethin' about this abysmal mistake?
Oh how I wish I had ordered it now! Great comparison video!

Very impressive... if you like your Eternia as a fever dream theme park.

"Miiiichael!! Why did you kill Fredo?" 😀 😛
This was a great video. I appreciate you taking the time to give us a good side by side comparison. The Street Fighter sound effects is a nice touch 😅!
@nicopelli1977 much appreciated 👍
I really enjoyed this side by side comparison.
Thank you Doctor!
Loving the Street Fighter 2 sound effects 🔥
Chris is so good with dropping those in during editing. 😎😎😎
Great video, I have never seen either of these in the flesh and not likely too, so really enjoyed this video and careful analysis of the two. Thank u for another great film!
Thank you for taking a dive into Eternias!
Awesome vid scuba!
Thanks MoJoe!

Thanks for watching Dave! Cool to spot one at Sandown!!!
@VintageToyRush yeah I remember we saw that on his shelf. It was a nice condition box too. I do not remember the price but, those ain't cheap! Lol
Great review How did I miss this!! Origins is better but vintage will always have the charm and the PRICE/Value
@tydiriumhanger1320 Thanks so much for watching. Agreed 100%👍

Well worth the wait!
As I was shooting this, I knew you would be excited to see it….finally!!! 👍😎
Mono means one and rail means rail ❤️
Oh man, what a great video. Love the set up.
They are monsters for space Keith. I may need a shed!
Awesome comparison video, Scuba! ❤
“If Eternia’s moat was flooded with nacho cheese, would ya dip it?! I would!”
Lol crazy how similar yet different these sets are side by side.
Great look at the sets scuba, simply incredibly.
But I’ll always go vintage as it was there when I was 😂👍
And the vintage is just as creaky as I am! 👍😆
" No Eternia Playsets Were harmed In The Making Of This Video! " 🤣
😂😂😂
Don’t make me choose! I know, I’ll sell a kidney or two and have both! 😂 great vid Scuba! Thanks for the side by side comparison!
Thanks pal!! Appreciate ya!!!

Awesome comparison Scuba! That Randy Savage seems to be making himself right at home🤣
Those two are inseparable! 😆
Man that's really cool. Thank you for doing this
On behalf of Pete," thank you"👍

Amazing you got one back in the 80s! I was sadly long gone from Motu by 1987. Do you still display it? 🤩

Origins wins, hands down!!!
Thanks for watching @subraxas! 😎
Origins is much better

They both are so over the top crazy. Love’em!!! 👍😆
Is two Eternia too much Eternia? Find out tonight on Chasing 80s Toys! Nice one, boys! You're on the right track, just don't crack it!
Thanks Goji!!
I would have to say Origins for the win but then there’s always a certain nostalgic charm to the original.
